2026 Sponsorship
Opportunities
Two ways to put your organization at the center of Wisconsin's growing employee ownership movement — year-round podcast presence and our annual Celebration Dinner.
Support the movement. Reach the people building it.
Connect with business owners, advisors, lenders, and policymakers actively making employee ownership decisions in Wisconsin.
Your sponsorship funds WICEO's education, outreach, and transition assistance programs across the state.
Stay in front of Wisconsin's employee ownership community through podcast episodes, events, and digital channels all year long.
WICEO is part of the national EOX network and an NCEO partner — connecting your organization to a trusted, credentialed ecosystem.
A year-round voice for employee ownership in Wisconsin.
Employee Owned Wisconsin features in-depth conversations with business owners navigating ownership transitions, employee-owners sharing what ownership has meant for their lives, advisors and lenders making deals happen, and policy leaders shaping the future of democratic workplaces. Year-round and on-demand, the podcast builds a durable, growing audience of Wisconsin professionals actively engaged with employee ownership.
An evening honoring the companies and founders who bet on their workers.
The Wisconsin Employee Ownership Celebration Dinner brings together business owners, employee-owners, advisors, lenders, policymakers, and community leaders to celebrate companies proving that ownership works. Through inspiring stories, meaningful recognition, and a shared commitment to keeping Wisconsin businesses locally rooted, the evening raises critical support for WICEO's programs.
Recognizing an established employee-owned company with strong performance and community impact.
Honoring a founder who chose employee ownership to preserve jobs and their business legacy.
Celebrating a company that completed an ownership transition within the past three years.
Sponsor both the Employee Owned Wisconsin podcast and the Celebration Dinner and receive priority placement, enhanced co-branding across all WICEO channels, and recognition as a WICEO Community Champion — our highest level of organizational partnership.
